In preparation for our big p.a.r.t.y on Saturday, we had to buy a futon this week. Being the poor "assistant researchers" that we are, we decided to save the $10 assembly fee and try to do it ourselves. You see where this is going right?

Christine taking out screws after we realized we used the long ones when when we were supposed to use the short ones (we figured this out on the last step, and the short screws were for the first step)

Me, trying very hard to get bolts that Christine put in the wrong place (normal way = screw, frame, bolt...Christine's way = screw, bolt, frame). huh?

But we did finally get it together, and it didn't fall apart! We do have some extra parts, hopefully those weren't supposed to go somewhere.
